CONCERT FOR CINEMA PROJECTORS. Epitaph for 37 cinemas

The project consist of a concert – performance composed specially for cine projectors and "video tape" for screening. The projectors united in a multi-canal light and sound emitter will act as an audiovisual instrument which will perform works composed of fragments of the film bands, defined as the analog samples. The essential part of the presented film fragment is the recorded sound and emitted light. Following concerts will consist of public presentations of the analog sample and an appeal to scan it and copy it freely.After the concert there will be a screening of the recorded material from the selected closed cinemas. During the recording the video camera is used as a light scanner. The lens of the camera will face directly the lens of the projector. The most important aspect of the video and audio recording is the process of digitalisation of the analog signal and copying it further on.Piotr Wyrzykowski
